The Favored Concubine: The Doting Prince

Zhufeng stole a glance at Yuanye on the opposite side. Even if Yuanye just frowned, Zhufeng could have taken action. It was a pity that this gentleman did not get angry but laughed instead, as if he agreed with the shameless remarks.

"The demon tamers of my Chenliang country have become so poor, huh? They can't even afford a glass of wine." Yuan Ye raised his chin as he spoke, and it happened that the man was holding the jade wine pot and was just thinking of having another glass.

The man who was caught in the act had no choice but to put down the wine jug in his hand. He gave an awkward fake smile and took out a jade pendant from his arms and placed it on the table. The jade pendant was white, simple in style, and engraved with the same pattern as the hem of his clothes.

"See? I'm just a newbie, a junior. How can I have any money? I'm here to complete a mission, to level up or something."

Zhu Feng glanced at the jade pendant and curled his lips. He looked down upon this person even more. He thought that being a mediocre demon tamer who was only at the beginner level was really useless.

Yuan Ye picked up the jade pendant and looked at it carefully. He found two small characters on it: "Nian Wei"

Yuan Ye uttered these two words lightly.

"Yes, yes, my name is Nian Wei." The man answered with a flattering look on his face.

Yuan Ye threw the jade pendant back to Nian Wei and said, "Okay, you can stay."

"You are truly my benefactor," Nian Wei said while bowing in the direction of Yuan Ye.

Zhufeng was very annoyed but this person was the one his own prince wanted to keep, so he was a guest. Zhufeng raised his hand and poured a glass of wine for Nian Wei, who was tactful and nodded in thanks.

"Why are you, a junior demon tamer, running to Lingjue City?" Yuan Ye asked nonchalantly.

"Just follow my senior brothers, they eat meat and I drink soup." Nian Wei replied helplessly.

Yuan Ye knew that demon masters were used to working in collaboration, so he stopped asking questions and took two bites of the side dish. However, he didn't expect Nian Wei to be so chatty and keep talking.

The source of income for a monster tamer is not only the fixed monthly income but also the "hardship fee" for catching monsters. The hardship fee is paid according to the contribution value during team operations.

However, the "hard work fee" that the demon tamer gets from taking a demon alive at the risk of his life is pitifully small. But once the demon is sold by the demon tamer, it is a sky-high price.

Nian Wei held a pot in his left hand and a cup in his right hand, gesturing, "This side is the demon's territory, and this side is the human's territory. We can catch them only if they run over here, but they are smart and won't come here."

Nian Wei's face was slightly red at this time, and his movements were very large. Yuan Ye squinted his eyes and took a look and said, "From what I know, although the number of monsters discovered is decreasing year by year, there are still many."

"There are quite a few demon masters as well."

"So why are you here with your brothers?"

Hearing Yuan Ye's question, Nian Wei pretended to smile mysteriously, leaned forward and whispered to Yuan Ye, "Smuggling demons."

When Zhu Feng heard these three words, his eyes lit up. He came here just to investigate the smuggling of demons. Of course, the Demon Tamer knew this matter best.

Zhufeng thought that Yuanye's old habit of "being soft-hearted when meeting a beautiful woman" had come back, so he allowed this scoundrel to stay. Then he realized that it was for investigation. Zhufeng suddenly felt that his master was wise and powerful.

"Smuggling demons?" Zhufeng asked in cooperation, placing the dish in his hand in front of Nian Wei as he spoke.

"Normally, the Supervisory Department of the Demon Control Bureau would send us to capture demons when they discover them. Now we have to get there before them." Nian Wei said with a smug smile on his face.

"Are you fast enough to pass the Supervisory Office?" Yuan Ye frowned slightly.

"What if we knew the time and place where the monster appeared?"

"how come?"

Nian Wei had a smile on his lips, which looked quite strange considering his appearance.

"We go into the forest, find their dens, capture their cubs and bring them out. They will definitely come to rescue us. Then we can set traps to catch them all and sell them. They won't commit suicide with their cubs as a threat." Nian Wei said calmly.

But Zhufeng felt very unhappy, and did not want to admit that he felt sorry for the monster.

There was nothing unusual about Yuanye's expression, except that the small ball at the end of his hair was glowing faintly. If it weren't for Yuanye's suppression, Nian Wei would have been shattered by now.

"Even if the Supervisory Office finds out, we will still go based on the principle of proximity, but we will earn a lot less," Nian Wei continued.

"You deliberately angered them to attract the monsters to appear, and then catch them?" Zhu Feng couldn't help but asked again, his voice a little loud.

"Shh." Nian Wei smiled and put her right index finger on her lips. She looked actually cute, but Zhu Feng felt disgusted when he saw it.

"This is an internal secret among you demon tamers. Why did you tell us?" Yuan Ye glanced at Zhu Feng and motioned him to calm down, then looked at Nian Wei and asked.

"I just drank your wine, it's an equal exchange." There was some pride in Nian Wei's eyes.

It turned out that Nian Wei thought Yuan Ye and Zhu Feng were businessmen and wanted to introduce a way to make money to them, so Yuan Ye agreed without hesitation.

"I have the goods, you have the channels, and we can make money together." Nian Wei no longer had a flattering look on his face but leaned back in his chair with a carefree attitude.

"Did you catch a monster?"

"There are both low-level monsters and high-level monster spirits."

"What if my business can be expanded outside?" Yuan Ye asked tentatively.

Nian Wei's expression changed from surprise to joy. He sat up straight and looked at Yuan Ye.

"So powerful, you must be an expert! The price in Yuanhuang is much higher." Nian Wei clenched his fists excitedly. He was so excited that he ignored the murderous intent in Yuanye's eyes.

The Yuanhuang Kingdom far surpasses Chenliang in terms of financial resources, military and land. Originally, Chenliang was guarding a large tract of dense forest in the north, where monsters often roamed around, which was a disadvantage. However, they did not expect it to become a resource.

The tamed monsters became a force.

Yuanhuang and its vassal states also have monsters but their quantity and quality are far inferior to Chenliang, so Chenliang prohibits all forms of monster trade with Yuanhuang.

That’s the bottom line. I didn’t expect…

"Drink." Yuan Ye still looked calm.

Zhufeng poured another glass of wine for Nian Wei. Zhufeng didn't feel aggrieved at all. Anyway, Nian Wei probably wouldn't live long.
